20 Credits ACADEMIC YEAR<br />

Prerequisite qualification: A-­‐Level German (Grade B) or equivalent<br />

Description: Would you like to improve your German language skills and find out more about the<br />

German culture of today? In this module, we will look at contemporary texts from a variety of genres<br />

and topics, including short stories, poems and magazine articles. The aims are to find out about<br />

German identity and culture, but we will also examine selected grammatical features of the<br />

language. The module will be portfolio assessed, which gives you the chance to focus on your<br />

personal interests in greater detail.<br />

Teaching hours: The module is taught in 1 session per week (Thursday 13.00) in both semesters.<br />
